Why it was recalled
The damper units in some of these forks may not adequately vent oil that flows in during normal operation. Internal damper pressure can overcome the seal head retaining ring and cause the damper to break. A broken damper will decrease certain performance characteristics of the fork, and in some cases the undamped air spring might break and allow the lower unit of the fork to separate from the bicycle.
Hazard
The fork damper cylinder / piston assembly in some of these units may separate and allow the fork to over-extend under certain circumstances, possibly causing the front wheel to detach from the bicycle while in use, creating a fall hazard.
